A man who was bottled in the face as he walked home with his daughter and girlfriend has put out an appeal on Facebook to trace his attacker.

Dave Chambers said he suffered a broken eye socket and cheek bone and has been left unable to see out of his left eye following the incident, outside the Acklam Garden City pub, on Burlam Road, Linthorpe, just before 11pm on New Year’s Day.

Cleveland Police confirmed the incident had been reported to them and enquiries are currently ongoing.

But in a bid to help police trace his attackers, Dave has also launched his own appeal via the social networking site.

Alongside a picture of his bloodied face, Dave wrote: “If anyone who knows and finds who bottled me walking home with my daughter and girlfriend outside the Acklam City for nothing at all, it would be so much appreciated.

“Broken eye socket and cheek bone and can’t see out of my left eye. Any help much appreciated please.”
